FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to compression or non-compression shorts or pantshaving an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the straps areattached to the inner surface of the shorts or pants, so that the strapsextend through an opening formed in the surface of the shorts or pants,so that the garter extends through the opening to the outer surface ofthe shorts or pants.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Conventional compression or non-compression shorts or pants typicallyhave a waist member, and have straps and garters extending along theouter surface of the shorts or pants, so that the garter may be attachedto the wearer's socks.

However, conventional compression or non-compression shorts and pants donot provide a construction which allows the straps to be located on theinner surface of the pants or shorts, and the associated garters to bemounted on the outer surface of the garment.

The structure of the present invention provides a construction to beused on compression or non-compression shorts or pants.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Conventional compression or non-compression shorts or pants have strapsthat are typically attached to the waist member of the shorts or pants,and the straps and garters are attached to the outer surface of theshorts or pants, so that the garter may be attached to the wearer'ssocks.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide compression ornon-compression shorts and pants having straps and garters, wherein thestraps are on the inner surface, and extend through an opening formed inthe surface of the shorts or pants, so that the garters are on the outersurface of the shorts or pants.

Another object of the present invention is to provide compression ornon-compression shorts and pants having straps and garters, wherein thestraps are attached to the inner surface to the waist of the shorts andpants, and the garters are on the outer surface of the shorts or pants.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compression or non-compression shortsor pants having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein strapsare attached to the waist and the inner surface of the shorts or pants.The straps extend along the inner surface of the shorts or pants, andpass through an opening formed in the surface of the shorts or pants.The strap and garter extend through the opening in the surface of theshorts or pants to the outer surface, so that the garter operates on theouter side of the shorts or pants to be attached to the socks of theuser.
